Q: Viral Infection ?!?!

hi there,

10 days ago i got a slight shooting pains in the back and sides of my head and thought nothing of it.
the next day i had a feeling of pressure in my head like it wanted to explode. not a headache or pain just an uncomfortable pressure. my neck ache really really bad. no pain just ache.
my ears started to crackle every time i swallowed. i started feeling really shattered too. my sleep is thrown out i think from worry but im still getting long hour sleeps. about day 5 i started getting a feeling of not numbness but feeling like my arms and legs were very heavy. as if ive laid on them too long.

i went to the dr on day 6 and he said my blood pressure was fine. looked down my throat and said it was red. after telling him all my problems he said i have a viral infection.

10days on ive now had blood test today as i went back to the dr cause i felt so rough. i havent been prescribed anything just told to take paracetamol and gargle salt water. the 2nd dr said it was viral infection too.

but i have no cough, no sore throat, no fever, no runny nose or blocked nose.

just worried cause i feel so weak and tired. my ears still crackle and my head/ears have pressure. also the feeling in my arms is still here. i feel so knackered.

any ideas people?
